MANILA, Philippines -- Sarah Geronimo readily disagreed with a supposed remark by a veteran composer on her life achievements -- that the only thing lacking in her life now is a "boyfriend."

At the sidelines of the 25th Awit Awards held Tuesday night, Geronimo was asked to respond to an alleged remark by composer Vehnee Saturno after the Pop Star Princess won at the annual awarding ceremony: "Boyfriend na lang ang kulang."

Before she was romantically linked to actor Gerald Anderson early this year, Geronimo was rumored to have had a blooming relationship with actor Rayver Cruz. Her aborted romance with the two actors were supposedly caused by the disapproval of Geronimo's parents.

The Pop Star Princess added that she dedicates her latest recognition not only to her family, but also to her ever supportive fans. "Of course sa Panginoon, sa pamilya ko, to everyone who bought the album, sa lahat ng mga supporters, sa Popsters. Grabe talaga, sobra 'yung support nila," she said.

With a self-titled concert variety program to her name ("Sarah G Live"), the actress-singer said she intends to continue entertaining fans. She also expressed gratitude for being entrusted with the Sunday night program.
